Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?
Any work or use to work at Chartwells K12

I’ve been looking for 8 months and have basically turned into a freelancer while I search on the side. A few final rounds and lots of ghosting and rejections. Things seem to be picking up slightly this quarter though, compared to last year.
I just got an offer!
Probably the worst market since the financial crisis of 2007-08. The numbers from the Biden admin was artificially inflated by govt jobs and the Trump admin is supported by hospitality work. White collar jobs are the worst they’ve been in 20 yrs.
EY 1 - who is "us?"
Personal opinion - Everywhere is slow rn bc places don’t want to over hire. So they are being super selective on hiring and making sure they get the people who can contribute day 1. Offers feel low bc there’s a lack of risk/anticipated investment on potential. You’re seeing less competitive offers bc employers know there are more candidates than we recruiters know what to do with.
We will only hire if we know someone is immediately billable. No more bench hiring or hiring for work that hasn’t had a signed contract.
I think it’s all to save as much as possible to reduce how often layoffs or reductions need to happen.
It's an employer's market. One of my open reqs had 400+ resumes in 72hrs. I'm not budging on salary since I have enough candidates willing to accept my low end. Granted the risk is they jump ship once the market improves.
It is, with the AI boom and mass layoffs, economic uncertainty and employers becoming more like private equity firms - all they care about is best quality for the lowest cost.
I get it, businesses need to maximize profits - but we’re also in a world where CEO and Executive pay is disproportionate.
I totally agree, the market is skewed and business feel emboldened to be brash, not negotiate and push down wages. My advice is to do what you need to, to pay your bills.
I’m in HR for tech and most comparable roles in tech have a range that is 10-30% less than I make now. It’ the same in other industries - it’s just the hit moving from tech will be bigger.
That is because the industry is about to change FMCSA has just passed that brokers can only take 3% of the load pay and must (not exception) give you the shipper info the actual pay that the shipper is paying address and phone number of shipper all info they withhold so you can't get your own contract directly. That is where the money is at direct contracts with shippers not the middle man that is getting paid 5 to 6 thousand for a load but offering it to another driver for 1500
Wow !!! Think of all the marketing that went into creating the current conditions ...
